What we've learnt working in Blidworth

Blidworth is hillier than most of our patch, and clay in places, which is a combination that punishes a badly built garden. Water that can't get away sits on clay, and gardens that step down steeply end up as one unusable slope with a shed at the bottom.

The answer is nearly always terracing — two or three flat levels with a properly footed and drained retaining wall between them. We set the levels out on site with pegs so you can see it before we dig, and there's always free-draining stone and weep holes behind every wall we build.

Blidworth questions

Local answers on prices, permissions and how soon we can get to you. All FAQs.

Do you charge extra to come out to Blidworth?

No. Quotes are free everywhere we work, and Blidworth is 15 minutes from us. We don't add a travel charge inside our normal area.

How soon could you start in Blidworth?

Lead times are typically 4–6 weeks. Smaller jobs — a fence, a small patio, cleaning and sealing — can often slot in sooner, and winter is usually quicker than spring.

What does a driveway cost in Blidworth?

Block paving is £75–£110 per m² supplied and laid, resin £85–£120, tarmac £55–£85 and patios £80–£130. A typical two-car drive of 40–50m² comes in between £3,500 and £5,500. Access and the existing surface are the two things that move it most.

Do you do dropped kerbs in Blidworth?

Yes — we're licensed to work on the public highway, and we prepare and submit the county council application for you. Allow six to ten weeks for approval, which we start as soon as you give us the go-ahead.

Is the guarantee the same here?

Identical. Five years on workmanship, registered on completion, and it transfers with the property. Being 15 minutes away is rather the point — if we've built it, we can come and look at it.
